Christianity and Suicide

[Astonished]

Okay then. I'll be waiting (although I will add that this was already the case). If your god exists and wants me to know something, I'm sure he'll know what to do. I promise to react with honesty if anything actually does happen.

This is an important question for you now: are you now comfortable with me not believing until I'm shown a reason to believe?

 Yes, but do I have a choice of being comfortable or not. Again, yes I'm comfortable with it as long as you are not expecting some kind of fireworks answer, it could be that God will do that, but in my experiences He doesn't work that way. Thank you for being positive and honest.
 Another question, do you believe that a person can be a Christian and not know Christ?

And when the silence descends, what will you say then? Your God has a strong habit of being silent to so many of us. Especially the it might be very useful to have a supreme being. At least the Marvel comic heroes make some good films these days, if you are in to that. God is omni-silent.

Could one infer non-existence, or just a basic lack of care?

 One can infer that God is not taking away you freedom of choice. If God were to physically speak or show himself to the world you would have no choice but to believe He is real. When Jesus returns there will be no choice because you will have the physical proof you want, not the faith it takes to be saved.

@ Luckie, I answered your post with a long reply and then the site wouldn't let me post nor save it as a draft and I've lost it. It's late tonight I will try and re-answer tomorrow.

I cannot for the life of me understand how you can say that and yet still defend a god that is absolutely silent to everyone in the world but you (and also how you can make the assumption you're right and it's the rest of the world that's wrong, given what we know about mental illness). Are you saying your god is that inept at communicating it can't do this? It's outside of that god's power? What a puny bitch god.

Or are you saying that this god doesn't care enough about us to spare us an eternity of hellfire by making his existence plain to those of us who use the skeptical brains he supposedly created us with?

You don't get to have it both ways. Pick one and stick with it or shut the fuck up.
